BLUETOOTH CONVERGENCE SOLUTION

Like using your cell phone at home but don't like carrying it around? Now you can make and receive cell phone calls though your multi-handset home phone with the Bluetooth-powered Panasonic Link-to-Cell. Link-to-Cell harnesses the power of Bluetooth to combine the freedom of your cell phone and the convenience of a home phone. By linking your cell phone to the Bluetooth-powered Panasonic Link-to-Cell, you can make or receive calls on all compatible Panasonic home phone handsets. Don't want to be without your cell phone's phonebook? No problem. With Link-to-Cell's Phonebook Transfer feature, you can transfer up to 600 names and numbers from your cell phone to the built-in handset directory via Bluetooth. Link-to-Cell also features Bluetooth headset connectivity so you can keep the conversation going and your hands free. Perfect for those times when you're talking but need to walk around your office or home, open drawers, flip through files or write.

DECT 6.0 PLUS

DECT Plus technology takes the superb sound quality and outstanding range of DECT 6.0 phones to a whole new level. By increasing the frequency of error correction by up to 80x, the transmission quality is improved and the phone's range is extended. Engineered to work in 1.9GHz frequency, our DECT 6.0 phones won't conflict with common wireless devices such as 2.4GHz routers, wireless keyboards and mice, microwave ovens and other household items. And because it's digital, you'll enjoy long range and clear sound while deterring eavesdropping.

TALKING CALLER ID

Now you can hear who's calling from across the room without having to get up. Using text-to-speech technology. Panasonic phones featuring Talking Caller ID that announces caller ID information in between rings. What could be more convenient?

RANGE BOOST

Clarity even at extended range is a hallmark of Panasonic cordless phones. Our 2011 line-up features Range Boost technology; a built-in antenna to the base unit; that extends transmission range by up to 20% compared to previous generation phones, so you can keep talking as you keep walking.

POWER BACK-UP OPERATION (Handset)

What happens to your phone when theres a power outage? Nothing, with our 2011 models featuring Power Back-Up Operation. A powerful battery back-up system keeps you connected so when the power goes out. Keep a charged handset in the base unit and you can still make and receive calls with the other cordless handsets.

INTELLIGENT ECO MODE

This feature automatically lowers the power consumption when you're using the handset close to the base unit. Not only does it extend the available talk time, it's good for the environment. When less power is used by the handset to communicate with the base unit, battery life is prolonged which results in less frequent charging and can result in fewer batteries in landfills.

TONE EQUALIZER

Everyone hears differently. To maximize clarity or accommodate hearing loss, Panasonic added Call Tone Control to select 2011 models. This exclusive feature actually lets you control the bass, mid-range or treble tones in a caller's voice for maximum clarity.

SMART WALL MOUNT

Several models feature a sleek, low-profile base unit with a reversible pedestal. These models are ideal for kitchen use because they dont take up a lot of room on a desk or countertop, and they can be quickly and easily mounted to a wall by using the reverse side of the pedestal.

Phone TG-7642No audible alert on the messages--we hate that as we are accustomed to hearing a beep with messages.

Great phoneExcellent phone, love the feature set. Button layout is good, quality tactile feedback buttons always a plus for me. Menu system makes sense and easy enough to navigate. There was one caveat; The time kept bumping down one hour and I couldn't figure out why it was resetting my time. I finally discovered after digging through the manual that caller ID can be used to calibrate the clock. Now that sounds all good and wonderful until you determine the time zone of caller ID is not the same as where you actually are. On most phone lines this would be fine, but I use a VOIP connection through MagicJack so I had to turn off the Caller ID time sync from auto to manual, then reset the proper time and let it be. Remember, your physical location is irrelevant to a VOIP phone system so your VOIP time zone may not agree with your physical location.

Good Choice for the optionsI’m very satisfied with my decision to purchase this phone. It’s easy to use and has all the functions a Tech user wants to have in a modern phone. Pros - large phone book storage that can accommodate all my contacts. Easy to connect to my cell phone using Bluetooth, and easy to download my contact list. Link-to-cell works better than expected. Great ringer options. Good phone range. Good clarity. Good speaker phone, but may cut out if loud noise in back ground. Cons - Phone is slippery in hand. The wider base that tappers to the earpiece makes it very difficult to talk with no hands, phone slips off shoulders. Ear piece is uncomfortable during long conversations. Overall a good phone and I’m happy with the performance.
